Daily Amazon Electronics Scraper
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I need a script that checks Amazon every day and extracts the newest listings in the Electronics category. My only required data point is the current price of each new product; nothing else needs to be captured at this stage.
Please build the scraper so it:
• Runs automatically on a daily schedule (cron-friendly or a lightweight cloud function is fine).
• Collects product title, ASIN, product URL, and price, then stores the results in CSV or a simple database table—whichever you find more robust.
• Flags only items that did not appear in the previous run, so I have a clean list of what is truly new every day.
• Handles Amazon’s anti-bot measures gracefully (rotating user-agents, proxies, or a headless browser approach—your call).
• Includes a short README with setup steps and an example output file so I can verify correctness quickly.
Python, Node.js, or another language you are comfortable maintaining is acceptable as long as the dependencies are clearly documented.
